YOGA FOR PREGNANCY
POSTNATAL YOGA
Using the Birthlight method, these classes involve specially adapted yoga stretches, designed to create extra space in your abdomen for your growing child, as well as for strengthening your body in preparation for labour. The movements stimulate all systems of the body, to keep you and your baby in good health. Breathing techniques increase your breath depth to be sure of enough oxygen for you and your baby and to enable you to harness the relaxing and pain relieving effect of controlled breathing. The relaxation methods release tension and give you time to yourself to develop a heightened inner strength, important for a calm and intuitive birth experience. The Yoga lasts for 1 hour. Afterwards there is half an hour for tea and a chance to get to know the other pregnant women in the class. The classes are suitable to begin at any point between your fifteenth week of pregnancy and the day you give birth.
Tuesdays 7pm with Jane

Aikido
A traditional martial art based on the ancient fighting systems of the Japanese Samurai.
Philosophically and technically aikido is purely defensive in nature. It is a powerful and effective method of self defense designed to control, pin or throw attackers ... but to do so without malicious, aggressive or violent intent.
Aikido does not rely on physical size or strength to be effective. Aikido employs body dynamics, movement and technique to exploit an aggressor's points of unbalance and weakness. Instead of using hard blocking techniques to meet an attacker's force head on, aikido favours a softer re-direction of attacks which turn an aggressor's own energies against themselves. Equally suited to men and women of all ages!
Fridays 7.30pm - 9.30pm with Ashley and Brendan

Sun Power Yoga
Sun Power Yoga is an eclectic mix of three traditional styles:
Dynamic Hatha - for alignment
Sivananda - for subtle mind and breath work
Ashtanga - for heat, flexibility, strength and stamina.
It is a dance-like moving form which tests the body and mind as it gradually works up to more difficult postures with the sun salutation as its frame.

Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga
Core Strength Vinyasa - ‘the style that turbocharges any other style of yoga’ - is a style that incorporates the rigor of Ashtanga, the creative flow of Vinyasa, the inner body science and energetic waves of Kundalini, and the life-affirming essence of Anusara. The Principles and Poses simplify how to access, comprehend and use the “core” most efficiently to gain the maximum yoga benefits (calorie burn, strength, flexibility, focus, self-awareness, confidence...) in the least amount of time. Because of its multi-level actions, and focus on constant core connection, Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga is one of the most effective yoga practices for sparking major changes both inside and out. Come and learn how to build your poses, speak your truth and live more powerfully from your deep centre.
Thursdays 7.30pm - 9pm - Wendy Snongjati £7 per class
Hatha Yoga
The hatha yoga classes involve a variety of yoga stretches to strengthen, tone and flex the body, as well as breathing techniques to deepen and control the breath and relaxation methods to ease the body and calm the mind. Suitable for men and women of all ages and fitness levels.

Gentle Chair Yoga is suitable for older people and for those that for any other reason have found that they are less able to take part in an ordinary yoga class.
In Chair Yoga classes, students do not need to come down to the floor at any point during a class. The whole class is done either sitting in the chair or standing, with the option of using the chair to aid balancing.
The classes teach students to improve their posture and to encourage their body systems and organs to work more efficiently. Students learn how to use proper breathing for health and relaxation and there will always be time for quiet meditation at the end of a class.
Students often find that aches and pains can be relieved, sleep patterns improved, and stress levels reduced with regular yoga practice.
Fridays 11:00am - 12:00pm £4.50 per session

Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training
This course teaches a range of adapted yoga poses to suit the various stages of pregnancy, along with movements and breathing techniques to use in labour.
The practices are explained with a comprehensive background of subtle anatomy and physiology of women during this time.
Theory and practice are blended for a deeper understanding of the beneficial effects of yoga at this special time in women's lives.
This course explores not only the physical aspects but also the emotional and spiritual changes which are part of the transition to motherhood.
Participants are invited to discover facets of yoga they may not have come across before, particularly in relation to deep pelvic muscles, pranayama, spinal alignment and self-nurture.
Course Structure
The full diploma consists of three stages...
Stage One is a four day intensive providing students with a thorough foundation of knowledge in which the three trimesters of pregnancy and the three stages of labour are covered with anatomy and physiology.
Stage Two is self practice and research over a period of at least six months (and up to a maximum of one year). During this time students set up their own classes and observe other teachers. Students need to document and analyse this practical work. In addition, students will have coursework to complete.
Stage Three is the diploma weekend. A two day course for the completion of the full diploma. This stage includes a detailed review of students' coursework and teaching experiences, followed by tuition on yoga applied to special ailments, yoga from the antenatal class to the labour ward, and yoga to help mothers who have experienced a difficult birth or postpartum. This stage is an excellent opportunity to discuss your experiences with your fellow trainees and share thoughts on what has worked in your classes and different ways to explain the various concepts of yoga for pregnancy.
Who can attend the course?
This course is suitable for qualified yoga teachers looking to expand their knowledge to the field of yoga with pregnant women and new mothers. It is also open to midwives, health visitors and childbirth educators with a sound yoga background.
Qualification gained
The qualification awarded will be a Diploma in Birthlight Yoga Teaching.
Your Tutor
Jane Collins is a fully qualified BWY and Sun Power Yoga Teacher and has been practicing yoga for more than 12 years. She has been teaching pre and postnatal yoga classes for the past five years, having trained with Francoise, and is passionate about its positive effects for women. Jane has a strong belief that a happy, comfortable and calm mother can have a more empowered and enjoyable pregnancy and labour and that this positively effects the rest of a woman's life, and her child's life, and in turn benefits the whole family and the people that surround that family. Motherhood is an extremely important role and as pregnancy yoga teachers we can provide some of the support that mothers need.
Course Costs
The cost for stage one's four day course is £500.
A deposit of £75 is required to secure your place. The remainder can be paid in instalments.
The cost for the diploma weekend is £290
